    Citation
    SINA HONG KONG LTD v. PIXEL MEDIA HK LTD
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1400/2013

    The application to vary the costs order nisi was dismissed because the defendant had sufficiently pleaded its case and adduced the factual matrix in response to the plaintiff's affirmation; the plaintiff's construction would have failed for multiple reasons even without the factual matrix; the presence of triable factual issues meant the plaintiff should not have used Order 14A/summary procedures and therefore must bear the costs; accordingly the costs order nisi was made absolute.
